Support the Ones Who Support Us

Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta Chi Chapter at Bloomsburg University, with the help of our friends Chi Sigma Rho, have organized a fundraiser in support of our troops. Our mission is to send “care packages” to deployed military service members. We would like to make each “care package” special. Receiving a care package in the mail can be a real morale booster for a deployed service member. It gives them hope and encouragement to return home safety to their loved ones and families. I started this fundraiser after having to experience the deployment of my father and now friends. I wanted to do something that could show the service members how much we truly are thankful for what they are doing overseas. With the help of her Sisters and friend they were able to make that happen. Raise so far over $500 and collecting all types of supplies to mail over.

Soldiers are always in need of items and also entertainment while deployed. Here are some items that you could consider donating:
Food and Drink: 
• Powder drink mixes 
• Protein bars 
• Meal Enhancers 
• snacks,
• gums 
• candy
Personal Care and Clothing:
• Toiletries
• Foot powders
• Cotton socks and underwear
• Disposable hand warmers
• Goggle style sunglasses
Entertainment and communication:
• Reading material.
• Word games and puzzles.
• Games Foam footballs and basketballs, Frisbees, Hacky Sacks, playing cards, yo-yos.
• Disposable camera.
• Writing material.
• Phone cards. Shop around to get the best deal on overseas minutes.

Alpha Sigma Alpha would like to thank everyone who came out to support us in raising the money and donations for the troops! Packages are being mailed as we speak!
